Power Supply for Vertical Din Rail?

[theColonel26]

I am looking for power supply that I can mount on vertical DIN rail, and when mount that way is =< 4" wide.

this is what I have now.... this is ugly and not ideal.

Nice SkyCAD drawing!

Is there a reason you can't mount it normally?

you can try this model from puls, it is more square than rectangle. I think you can get up to 4 or so amps and the width or whatever stays at 75mm

ML70.100

The ML70.100 is a 72W 1-phase DIN rail power supply. ✓ DIN rail mountable ✓ Compact size: 45mm wide. Learn more

not sure what amperage out you need

Several of the Siemens power supplies I checked had derating curves in the manuals (rated current vs ambient temp) for pretty much every installation orientation. It's a different curve depending on whether you rotate it 90 degrees left or right from normal, haha. Sometimes you gotta love the German attention to detail.

****, I forgot to mention I need at least 8 Amps, preferably 10amps.

I can't edit my post with this new forum software :/

Lol thanks

Do you mean just rotate my existing power supply? or Mount it somewhere else on a horizontal din rail?

Thanks, I forgot to mention I need like 8A to 10A.

Thanks I will go look

Automation Direct power supplies can be mounted sideways, but they are specific in which direction; when I spoke with them about it they said it's because you want the heat generating elements topside so they don't cook the board.

Yes, why not rotate it and use a din rail terminal stop to keep it in place?

Looks like not enough space between the wire ducts.

Ah I see now. Sorry it's been a long day. What kind of amp rating do you need, OP? Maybe something smaller would work?

To tall that 126mm tall, so when rotated it is too wide. I need <4" so <106.5mm.

So I should have put that in the Text of my OP. It was in the screen shot.

this may be a silly idea, but do you have enough depth in the panel that could you mount a piece of din rail cross-wise to another din rail? Somewhat analogous concept to this, but the second rail is rotated about an axis normal to the back of the panel instead of parallel to the back and perpendicular to the length of the main din rail? Maybe the second din rail's screws could hold onto the wings of the main din rail?

This one is ~3.5" tall and the din rail mounting clip on the back is centered from top to bottom. It could work if you mount it horizontally, assuming it meets your power requirements.
